Organic cacao contains antioxidants that can boost one’s health and help to live a longer life. The most commonly found antioxidant in cacao is flavonoids. Flavonoids are also found in tea, grapes, and other berries. Linus Pauling Institute states that flavonoids improve health by altering cell-signaling pathways, and may even help to prevent cancer. The antioxidants found in cacao also block LDL-oxidation, which prevents plaque formation, thus, improving one’s circulation and lowering the risk of heart disease. Organic cacao may also help one maintain a healthy weight. It is very low in calories and high in fiber. The fiber present helps to make one feel full for longer periods of time, thus helping with weight management.

Andrea M.–April 16, 2015

At first the flavor is a little different, but you get used to it and now I crave it almost. It has a little bit of a “green” flavor, but I mix it with Almond Breeze Original (slightly sweetened) Almond Milk and a 1/2 tsp of vanilla. This combo I found makes it taste pretty good. Your body feels good when you drink it. I either drink it first thing in the morning and it gives a little energy boost, or I take it post workout in a protein shake. I feel like I have more energy and the probiotics have made a big difference in feeling/being bloated. I eat pretty healthfully, but this is a great way to get a bunch of nutrients and vitamins quickly and easily.

I have only been taking TrueFood (chocolate) for 4 days now but I can honestly say I already feel a difference. I am not having sugar and carb cravings that I usually have. My body seems satisfied. The only reason I gave it a 4 rating and not a 5 is because its too sweet. I hope maybe you make a dark chocolate that is less sweet or just tone down the sweetness. PLEASE!

Brigitte–October 15, 2015

I want to change my previous 4 rating to a 5. The reason I first gave the product a 4 was because I thought it was to sweet. To be fair, when I rated it, I didn’t take into consideration of the almond milk I was using. I switched to a unsweetened almond milk and that was all it took. I love this product! I have been using supplements and vitamins for a long time and never noticed a difference in how I felt. I just took them thinking they were good for me. After 3 days of drinking Truefood I could tell it was making a difference in how I felt. My daughter is loving it too. My favorite recipe is 1 scoop of chocolate truefood, 8 oz unsweetened breeze almond milk, a hand full of frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries and frozen spinach. YUM! I love this stuff!
